Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3

Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 is an ultracompact, key-sized dash camera that records 1080p HD video with a 140-degree field of view and a built-in Garmin Clarity polariser to reduce windshield glare. The device supports continuous recording, automatic incident detection with date and time stamps, and voice control for hands-free operation. Wi‑Fi connectivity and a paid Vault subscription enable secure cloud access and sharing of saved clips via the Garmin Drive smartphone app. Some advanced features such as Parking Guard and Live View require constant power and a subscription; a Constant Power Cable may be required for certain vehicles. A microSD memory card (sold separately) is required and the camera supports cards up to 512 GB.

Advantages

The dash cam captures clear 1080p HD footage with a wide 140° lens and Garmin Clarity polariser to improve visibility and reduce glare. Its ultracompact, key-sized design makes it discreet on the windshield while a slim routed cable offers tidy installation. Automatic incident detection records and saves events with timestamps, and voice control lets you save video or toggle audio without taking your hands off the wheel. With Wi‑Fi and the Garmin Drive app plus a Vault subscription, you can view and share clips remotely; Parking Guard and Live View provide remote monitoring when the vehicle is parked (subscription and constant power required).
